NCHSAA Places Wrestling in the Spring

[Coach Atwood]

Wrestling will begin April 12.  First contest date is April 26.  Final contest is June 11.  There are 14 total contests allowed with a maximum of 2 contests per week.

Contests or duals? Guessing more information will be released, but my AD is under the assumption there are no multi team events as of now.

I asked my AD to get clarification on that as well...14 duals or events.  Hopefully we'll get the answer soon.

NCHSAA site says 14 duals.

[Tapout]

At this point, It's 14 duals (no tris, quads, or dual tournaments) with no tournaments other than the state duals at this time. I am on the NC Wrestling Coaches Board and we will be meeting to look at all possible options IF we don't get to have the traditional NCHSAA state individual tournament.  When I talked to Tra, he said it's because of the number of participants allowed. That is something the governor has set, not the NCHSAA.  If that ban is lifted, we could potentially have the state tournament. If that ban is still in affect, we plan to give the NCHSAA some solutions to get this done. Trust me when I say we are trying to get this done for every kid who's dream it is to compete for a state title! #WeWantToPlay

Above was posted from Mike Carey on another feed. 14 matches and no individual tourney. I would say NC may see some of our studs compete in the spring big USA/ UWW Trials tourneys instead of a 14 match season.

Can we ask/lobby to allow tri meets at least?  It does not drastically increase the fans and you still only have one bout being contested at a time.  I don't see a huge difference in the potential exposure/spread of the virus.
